What is Kaal Sarp Dosha?
Kaal Sarp Dosha (also spelled Kalsarp) is a condition in Vedic astrology where all seven planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn) are hemmed between the shadow planets Rahu and Ketu. This creates a serpent-like pattern in the birth chart.
There are 12 types of Kalsarp Dosha based on Rahu's house position, each affecting different life areas. While traditionally considered challenging, modern astrologers note that many successful people have this yoga—it often indicates a powerful but destiny-driven life path.
